Homescreen

[mrshowbiz122]

Is there anyway to make it so that your homepage does not have all of the buttons on it or no? I use to have the windows treo and I could put background images and things on my desktop. Just curious if you can do that with this andif so how?

well if you buy the progam zLauncher, you can create a new page and leave it blank with no icons and use a stored .jpg image as the photo. It is a great launcher program.

Hi:

I don't have a 755, but on my 650 the main phone screen could be customized with wallpaper changes, increasing or decreasing the rows of buttons on the bottom, etc. Looks like the 755 also has that ability and this is from that cool manual they give you with the purchase. Note that this is page 84 of the Sprint version:

Customizing the Main View in the Phone Application

Phone Display Options

let you customize the appearance and text entry mode of the Main view in the Phone application.

1.

Press Phone .

2.

Press Menu .

3.

Select Options, and then select Phone Display Options.

4.

Set any of the following options:



Show … sets whether the Dial Pad or wallpaper appears in
the Main view of the Phone application. If you select Show
Wallpaper, select the thumbnail image and then select an
image to use as wallpaper.



Typing … sets whether typing enters numbers in the Dial
Pad or starts a contact search.



Show Calendar event sets whether the current event from the Calendar

application appears in the

Main view of the Phone application. When this option
is enabled, you can then select this event to jump to the Calendar application.



Show Favorite buttons sets whether Favorites appear in the Main view of the

Phone

application.



Rows sets the number of favorite button rows that appear in the Main view of the

Phone

application.

5. Select OK.

Here is a link to Palm's on-line version and you can select your carrier.

Yes, Steve, you can customize the main phone screen, the exact same way on the 755. I may have misunderstood the OP, I thought he wanted to customize one of the pages with the icons on it. On Windows Mobile devices you can have a completely blank screen with no icons but use one of your own photos as a "desktop photo". You can do this on the 755 with zLauncher, but you have to create a new tab and leave it blank (by putting no icons on it). zLauncher also allows you to use your own .jpg images as a background for these tab pages.

or you can hit the photo you want to use, and hit menu, it will give you the option to make the photo the wallpaper...

Hey dollface:

I could certainly be wrong. I have been often and I will be again....When I saw the title Homescreen and the OP mentioned their Homepage, I assumed they meant the main phone screen.

Only the OP can know for sure......
